There has been some surprise regarding the Nationalist Party’s apparent decision not to capitalize on the scandal involving Pawlu Pace of the Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses (MUMN). However, today we have insights into the possible reasons behind their silence.

Pawlu Pace
The Nationalist Party, along with its media resources, likely possesses extensive knowledge about the Pawlu Pace scandal. It is noteworthy that the PN’s reticence in this matter is likely driven by an underlying strategic consideration.
The Nationalist Party is acutely aware that Pawlu Pace has currently lost all credibility, assuming he ever had any. They recognize that no one takes Pawlu Pace seriously anymore, evidenced by their cessation of invitations for him to appear on NET TV. With Pawlu Pace’s reputation effectively obliterated, their interest lies in identifying an alternative ally to replace him.

This search for a replacement has proven challenging, as no external candidates have agreed to step forward. Consequently, they required an individual from within the union, someone they could potentially influence.

William Grech
Recent information suggests they have found a major Nationalist supporter willing to cooperate: William Grech, who currently serves as the Deputy Secretary General. William Grech’s allegiance to the Nationalist Party rivals that of prominent figures like Fenech Adami, Gonzi, Simon Busuttil, Adrian Delia, and Bernard Grech combined. What emerges is a notable conflict between two ardent Nationalist figures.
